Photo: NASA Ensure further development of Greenlandic research areas with the main sectors in the Greenlandic economy. Focus on research within natural sciences supporting the following industries:

• Fishing industry - export of fish are the largest source of exports.

• Mineral industry- Has a mineral potential both within hard rocks and hydrocarbons.

• Energy - Very large hydropower potentials which can be utilized by energy intensive industries such as datacenters.

• Water – Largest drinking water potential on the Northern Hemisphere. Arctic World Institute Attract the best International Universities and Research Institutions as stakeholders. The aim is amongst other to: . Increase natural science to support the export sectors.

. Facilitate within natural sciences such as: fishery technology, geophysics, geology, hydrology, energy and math.

. Increase the presence of researchers within the above mentioned sciences, and Utilize the presence of international researchers.

. Enable open access to scientific data, facilitate increasing results from research conducted in Greenland and Arctic. Photo: Bent Petersen
